Overseas Study Programme

澳門理工學院為鼓勵學生們善用暑假，拓展學生的國際視野，特於8月舉辦「暑期海外學習計劃」，選派20名學生前往澳洲昆士蘭科技大學進行為期三週的文化交流活動，讓學習無界限。

理工學生抵達澳洲昆士蘭後受到熱情款待，在寄宿家庭生活的過程中，同學們有機會接觸澳洲文化，與當地居民溝通，從生活中體驗該國風土人情和社會文化。透過是次學習計劃，同學們既可提升英語水平，又可增強溝通技巧，課程中設有學習和演練活動，讓學生演講和學術層面的認知大有躍進。除課堂學習外，同學們分別參觀了當地商業機構及文化藝術行業，了解他們的發展及經營手法。另外，為達至互動學習及了解當地旅遊事業的目的，加入導遊環節，讓當地學生與理工同學同遊景點，解說箇中歷史文化和城市特色。

參與學生表示，是次計劃讓他們度過了一個既充實又有意義的暑假，感謝學院提供機會，讓他們體驗當地文化，結識來自不同地方的朋友，增廣見聞。不少學生因而愛上留學的感覺，表示畢業後有意到海外升學。

主辦活動的學生事務處表示，理工一向重視學生專業和通識學習，希望透過多元文化活動達至全人教育的目標，培養見識廣博、與時俱進的優秀棟樑。

An “Overseas Study Programme” was organised during the summer vacation to broaden students’ academic opportunities and widen their horizons, 20 students from different faculties taking a three-week study programme in Queensland University of Technology in Australia.

MPI students received a warm welcome from Queensland University of Technology after their arrival in Brisbane where they learned about local customs and social culture via their stays with host families and through daily communication with the locals. Through a three-week ‘Presentation Skills Programme’ students improved their English language and communication abilities as well as enriching their professional knowledge and presentation skills. In addition to lessons, students visited several local organizations, cultural museums and art galleries to expand their knowledge of business developments and operations. Local tourism was also included, MPI students being escorted by local students to learn more about the history, culture and significance of the city via this interactive learning process.

The participants found the programme very fruitful and thanked MPI for providing this opportunity for them to enjoy these brilliant learning experiences, meeting friends from around the world and widening their horizons. Many participating students said that they would now like to further their study abroad after graduation.

The Student Affairs Office which organised the event commented that MPI advocates a professional and liberal education and would like students to enhance their whole person development through a variety of activities.
